lcd rgb confusion.

[monami]

hi all,

i've been through the manual of the lcd monitor i was going to use with my amiga. which a just a tft monitor and i have an external tv box. the manual doesn't mention a 15khz frequency. but in the specs later on it says:

"rgb input, analogue  15-wired sub-d connector."

this one is a medion 32117.

should i buy an rgb adaptor? :-?

i was just considering the monitor on its own for a minute...

ok the tv box takes a composite in and puts it on to a monitor crt or lcd. there is no scart on the tv box. (only on my other lcd tv.) there is also a pc in and out connector vga. this is connected to my belkin kvm... so in i will check if it does rgb...

it's something like this.

wouldn't the rgb adaptor to the vga of the tv box effectively be a scandoubler? i wanted 800x600. :-?

mmm...

well that's not my one. but it's a similar type. i actually have 2. one also has s-video. not sure if in or out yet. i don't mind composite for games but wanted 800x600 for the net. just to try it out. (long term want!) i basically just wanted to know if i would be wasting my time  getting the rgb adaptor.
but i might get one to test and use on my other lcd tv anyway. one of these has to work... :-)

"For higher resolutions, I'd use the rgb port with an adapter, with the super-72 monitor driver, you can get up to 800x600 resolution."

is that not true?
